Week 3 Assignment

Data Collection Method

Assessment Description

The purpose of this assignment is to create a theoretical plan for collecting data for a community health need.

Begin by choosing a population of interest to you. Research your chosen population for available health data. This is your secondary data. From the data available about your population, identify a health need that you would like to address. Note, the health need or population you select will be used in subsequent assignments. In the remaining topics, you will use the same population and health need to create components of a community needs assessment report.

Choose a data collection method you would use to collect primary data about the identified health need for your chosen population. Popular data collection methods to choose from are surveys, focus groups, and interviews.

Write a 750-1,000-word plan describing how you would collect primary data about the identified health need for your chosen population. Include the following in your data collection plan:

Explain of current secondary data available.

Describe the chosen population and identified health need.

Select the most appropriate data collection method specific to your identified health need for your chosen population, including a rationale for choosing this method.
